I bought my Little 6906 back in 1995 It shoots tighter groups than my 5906 When did S&W Drop the 6906 and WHY?? maybe the OLD BAN on HiCap mags I think it was one of the Best 9mm that they made Easy to pack IWB Mag holds 12rds After Market 13 Pretty accurate Qusetion on the S&W site it states Nite Sights are for LEO ONLY My 6906 has them? Ive been wanting to get them replaced They seem a bit dull |
I had a 5906 First it was a nice Pistol Plus looks good  I traded the 5906 for the 6906 w/ nite sites I found that my 6906 can do everything my 5906 could do and without the wieght 6906 has 2 to 3 rounds less rounds I still have a Few 14rd and 15 rd mags left They work fine in my 6906 but I never use them |
Are those mags for the 5906? If so what color is the follower? Want to sell them? Thanks! |

I've gone to mostly DAO versions, but I did have a few 6906's before. I have a 6946 now. Same thing, but DAO. I also had a few 5906's, but like you, I thought they were too heavy for a 9mm. I did like the full size grip, but not the weight. That's why I went with the 5943. See, the 6906/6946 is a mistake in S&W model numbers. It should be the 6903/6943, since it's SS with an aluminum frame. 6906/6946 denotes an all SS pistol, frame and slide. |
orange or Black I think have to go look yes I will sell Just looked They are ORANGE 1 15rd and 2 14rd all have Brand new springs WOLF I always replace the springs

Thanks for the info |
| Damn. Just when I post that I prefer aluminum framed lightweight S&W 9mm DAO's, I just left the gunshop and bought an old square trigger guard 5946! I can't resist S&W autos, or Glocks, Berettas, Sigs, Rugers, Colts. I'm in trouble. I want one of everything I see! |
FMJ I shot you an email. Thanks! |
AGREED |

Is this the Equipment Exchange or a discussion forum? I'll cancel my reply notification to this topic so I don't have to be alerted every time one of you sends e-mail to another about buying friggin' mags! "E-mail sent", "reply sent", Hell, just look in your Inbox and you'll see if an e-mail was sent, why do you need to post it here? |
GROW UP JERK |
I also own a SIG 40 P229 what model do you have |
I'm grown up enough to be able to read the rules of the sites I post on! Honestly, I couldn't care less if you do a deal here, but why keep bumping this post up to the top, just to tell someone you sent e-mail or replied to their e-mail. Do you really need to be told what that "thing" that says "subject" is in your inbox? "Jerk" huh? Are you going to tell your mommy on me now?

Back to what this thread was about.............. I traded all of my 6906's and replaced them with a 6946 since I like the DAO better. The only thing I don't like about the 69xx guns is the grip. I prefer the straight back grip to the curved grip found on the 69xx and 59xx guns. It's simple with the full-size to just swap them out to the full-size 40xx straight grips, but I haven't found any options so far, factory or aftermarket, for the 69xx series. Anyone know of an aftermarket grip with a straight back to them for the compact 6906/6946? Hogue wood grips have a curve, just like the factory grips do. I guess I could get one of them and sand it down easily enough, but I'd prefer to find a plastic grip with a straight back. On the S&W Forum, someone took a 4006 grip, cut the bottom, drilled a new hole for the pin and epoxied the hammer spring pocket higher up, but I want to avoid that if possible. No matter how well you do it, it's still going to look like something you patched together. If I can find a grip that fits, I'll replace the grip on my 4013TSW, too. |
